Path

[Ken]

Do you know what the path should be? I believe a virus
changed the path on my PC because when I boot my system it
appears to be loading properly but stops short of coming
up and loads a DOS window. I typed the word path and this
was the response:
PATH=C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32;C:WINNT;C:\WINNT\SYSTEM3\WEBM

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

A different path (or no path at all) wouldn't stop the OS from loading.
Sounds like you have bigger problems.

Check that explorer.exe is the default shell to start. Look at the Reg_Sz
string value of;
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"
found at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Insufficient information. What OS? What "Anti-" tools used? What
about Safe Mode startup? ...

At your "DOS prompt" can you execute explorer.exe? taskman.exe?
